Moral or immoral, it is reality. Human nature. I am a free market type guy. But if a family member needs a heart, I'm going to get it for them. And I think most would. Principle be damned.
As for myself, I don't care. Gave up years ago expecting I would have the same level of care my parents have had. But I don't know many other people who feel the same way.
Libertarians can create all the wonderful scenarios about how things should be but they are going nowhere unless they compromise and use some libertarian/free market concepts to improve a system which human nature demands we have.
So you would steal from me or kill me to get the money to get your family a heart? Curious morality. Why not a BMW then? In that case, I guess you think stealing is ok as long as the money being stolen goes to a good cause?

No problem, unless you mean compromising means selling out morals by stealing from Peter to give to Paul. Stealing is part of human nature as well, I guess it's OK on that basis?
The free market could work just fine if the government would get the hell out of the way. Lots of ways to do that.
BTW, you keep talking about Libertarians and I keep asking you why you keep doing that. The article is about health care and government.
